Twenty years ago, the world was making a fuss
About this brand new song, and yo, they called it 'the Bus'.
So of you want to hear the tale of how the song prevailed, just listen up.
September 14th, (1980!)
Al said to Dr. D, (Hey Doc!) "Hey Doc, listen to me.
I got a new song!" "Did you say a new song?" Before too long
Al met the drummer known as Bermuda.
He was a rockin' dude, no duh. He said "I'll keep the beat for ya'."
Joined by the crew who loved to lose it. (Ha haa!)
They couldn’t refuse it. (Take me away!)
With Musical Mike on back-up hand music.
Rollin' tape, Doctor said he had an extra for us.
Mike, Doc, Bermuda, and Weird Al, they did ride that bus! Ride out now!

Suddenly the requests poured in from around the world.
All the way to New Zealand, people laughed til they hurled. (Huuaahh!)
Al took the tape to town and then, hip hooray!
It got released to play, a record on T.K., Hey hey!
"What's the best song ever?" is the question that you ask us.
It's the one that will outlast us. Done with Sulu and Demaskus. (YEAH!)
Don’t need no instruments you see. (Woo!)
Just jump on in. Grab yourself a whistle or kazoo.
Or a cow can too. It's up to you, hand-fart or sing bass.
Got the tempo, Bermuda's bangin' that accordion case.
So when you go (Go where?) see "Weird Al" (oh, that guy)
When his tour comes to town, scream 'til the house comes down,
Right when you hear this sound!
